Help us raise $46,000 for Lwanda Comprehensive School to provide clean water for 208 students, eleven government employed teachers, two teachers employed by Homa Bay County Government, and two teachers employed by the Board of Management. The school is surrounded by more than 400 homes. The community relies on fishing from Lake Victoria and subsistence farming generating below a dollar per day on average.

 

The students fetch water from River Riwa, a six kilometer walk, whose water is brown and located in a Hippopotamus infested area. 

 

The 2026 School Project has a significantly different challenge than our other schools – Lwanda Comprehensive School’s student population includes 68 students raised by grandparents, 37 students raised by self-parenting, 101 students raised by single parents, and 102 students raised by both parents. For one third of the students, the teachers and staff are also the parents. The AIDS endemic continues in this area.

 

Please help us enhance the lives of the students at Lwanda Comprehensive Grade & Junior High School and provide them hope so they know they are not forgotten.
